Energy metering – consumption monitoring solutions
Energy efficiency refers to all policies aimed at optimizing energy resources to reduce consumption. Effective energy efficiency strategies include the adoption of consumption monitoring solutions. Why monitor consumption today Monitoring energy consumption provides a clear and detailed view of how energy is used. This allows for the identification of inefficiencies and waste, as well as...

How to ensure safety in collaborative robotics
“Collaborative robotics” refers to a series of robotic arms or systems that can share a workspace with humans. These cutting-edge robots are no longer confined to a “cell” and pave the way for a different way of using robotics in industrial settings and beyond. However, cobots alone do not ensure complete safety of the operational...
